dw_shepard on the Shapeways 3D Printing site made a 1/56 scale cannon for me. It looks a touch smaller than expected but we know that size and calibre wasn’t an exact science in this era. I think maybe a 1/48 scale might be better. He’s knowledgeable about the cannons and was willing to make a 1/56 version for me when it wasn’t listed. Price wasn’t brilliant but 3D print won’t be super cheap for a while yet. The postage will be better if you’re in the US. The cannon is next to a Front Rank figurines English militia mini and a Warlord Games mini for scale.

It took Army Painter Leather Brown primer fine. The texture on the side isn’t a problem for me and this is the lower costing (presumably lower quality) print option.
